you guys have filed a lawsuit challenging the nsa's phone surveillance program. what, if anything, do these new revelations mean for your case? >> well, i think these revelations underscore the need for greater oversight over the nsa and greater scrutiny by the courts. the revelations really highlight a few things. first of all, it's really shocking to see how many violations there were of surveillance laws that are extraordinarily per mmissiveper. these are laws that are hard to violate because they permit the nsa to do so much surveillance of americans' communications when they go into and out of the country that it's hard to understand how they violate them on average, if you take an average, about seven times every single day. but the other thing that the revelations really highlight, i think, is that there's a lack of real oversight both by congress but also by the foreign intelligence surveillance court, which is a secret court that's supposed to oversee the nsa. in a companion article to the one that you've been talking about, the chief judge of the court
